Synopsis

In this kingdom, beauty means suffering.

Ithena Avonstef is coming of age to eighteen, the bane of all her people's nightmares. Every year, the nobles, aristocrats, and royals - angels - descend upon their vast kingdom of Atellyn to choose the most attractive young men and women to accompany them back to the palace for their own lust and entertainment.

Beautiful from birth, Ithena knows that she is bound to be chosen upon the threshold of her eighteenth year, but never had she imagined who would choose her: Crown Prince Stephen Luxev.

Now, with a dangerous quest to kill the prince and alter the reality of everything Atellyn has ever known, Ithena must complete her task - before her heart falls to the prince's grasp.
